wiki rubric.pdf"War" - Edwinn Starr URL: http://folkmusic.about.com/od/toptens/tp/Top10Protest.htmOriginally recorded by the Temptations, this song was popularized in 1970 by Edwin Starr. The Vietnam war was at the height of its conflict, and the peace movement was gaining speed. The song talks about war in general, not specifically the one in Vietnam. The lyrics raise the question of whether there must be a better way to resolve conflict. War, I despise because it means destruction of innocent lives / War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes / when their sons go to fight and lose their lives. Written by; Edwinn Starr
